Nellie McClung School Council and Parent Advisory Council needs to fill vacancies

Studies show that students benefit when their parents or guardians actively support their success at school. Students who have positive parent/guardian involvement are more likely to be motivated, earn higher grades, have better behaviour and social skills, and continue their education to a higher level

One of the ways parents can help is by joining the Nellie McClung School Council and/or Parent Advisory Council. The councils meets once per month to discuss school operations and activities with the principal, hear from teachers about the work they’re doing in the classroom, and plan special events and fundraising activities. Several positions are being vacated this year, and we are looking forward to welcoming new parents and guardians who bring their enthusiasm and ideas to the table.

Descriptions of the executive positions are detailed here. There are other ways to contribute to council as well. See organizer positions open here. If you have any questions about these positions or are interested in them, please contact our Chair at nicole.lukach@icloud.com or our Principal at rmgraham@cbe.ab.ca

Welcome to the new Nellie McClung School Council webpage. Have you ever wondered how you can get involved at our school? When the next Parent Advisory Council meeting is? What volunteer opportunities are available? or How to become a Nellie Community Hero? It is all here! The homepage will have our 3 most recent posts and all past posts will be searchable in the archives. You will find lots of information about what we do and opportunities to make a difference in our school as you click through our pages. It is our sincere hope that our Nellie parent community finds this site a quick and helpful tool to stay engaged and involved. Always feel free to contact us at councilnellie@gmail.com.
